Hi Guys,   I am using the gmoccapy screen and all seems to working okay except the router won't run. I last used Axis which had a hot key but can't find one here, as a start. I am running a Probotix Unity controller, Probotix computer and Probotix motors. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Well I have it running, don't know what I did. Now what doesn't work is the spindle (Bosch router).??

I am trying to run it on gmoccapy, could this be the problem?

Yes it is homed.

I seem to have most things running. I still need final calibration.

Current problem is although I can jog around using the mouse and software keys I can not run a file nor turn on the spindle.

I think I have things correct but this eludes me, any ideas where I have gone wrong?

I am in Ottawa Canada, a bit of a drive.

Hi, I have it moving using the stepconfig test buttons. It will also move clicking on the jog buttons. I have figured out how to load a G file. Biggest problem right now is that it won't run a G code file, at least I don't know how to do it. I need some help with this. Spelling out the basics is what I need right now.

Thanks all, Ian

Here is a link to my CNC controller. www.probotix.com/UNITY

I will get that off to you. Once it moves I will have better idea of what to change in the config files

Hi,

The PC boots fine, the controller turns on (I hear the/a motors energise) I have no movement but the config files have not been configured, its an up to date Linux CNC.

Hi,

I was running this on Linuxcnc and not sure what happened, and it was years ago now but it died on me. It started out made by Larken and going through a number of new steppers etc. The original machine was made about 2000. The machine is a 3 axis CNC Router. All the mechanics are in good shape and the machine has done a pile of work for me. I do all the CAD and CAM work myself. I cut everything from fiberglass to aluminium, wood and etc.

Can you give me a list of what is needed?

Hi Guys

I am at a loss getting this thing to run. It is not a hobby for me I just need it to work. I am using a Probotix computer, Probotix controller and Probiotix black stepper motors. I have no need of limit switches, no home switches, ability to add later maybe. I need help, I can give the pitch of the feed screws. The table is about 25x25". Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Ian
